Haploesthes robusta is a Mexican species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It has been found only in the state of Coahuila in northern Mexico.Johnston, Ivan Murray. 1941. Journal of the Arnold Arboretum 22: 121-122 description in Latin, commentary in English
The genus name is sometimes spelled Haploësthes, with two dots over the first e to indicate that the o and the e are to be pronounced in separate syllables. This is optional; either spelling is equally acceptable.International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Melbourne Code) section 60.6
Haploesthes robusta grows along stream banks in areas with gypsum soil. It is a sprawling, succulent shrub with stems up to long. Leaves are triangular in cross-section.Turner, Billie Lee. 1975. Wrightia 5(5): 111 description and commentary in English
